-------------------------

Mary was conceived on board the ship, Anne II, that brought the family to Australia. She was born after arrival in Sydney. She lived at home and worked as a housemaid at Government House, for Gov. R Darling, until her marriage to Robert Green in 1829.

Amongst our obituary notices will be found an announcement of the death of Mrs. Mary Green, of Parramatta. The deceased lady was the mother of Mrs. H. Knight, who for some years was a respected resident of Toowoomba. Writing of the funeral of the late Mrs. Green the Sydney Daily Telegraph says: -

Two of the largest funerals that have been witnessed in Parramatta for many years took place there on last Sunday week. That of the late Hon. James Barnes was described in a portion of a previous issue, and about an hour afterwards the relatives and friends of the late Mrs. Mary Green, of Rock Farm, near Parramatta, followed her remains to their last resting place. The deceased lady was the widow of the late Mr. Robert Green, and had been a resident of Parramatta for the last 50 years. She was a native of the colony, her father, the late Mr. Hugh O'Donnell, arriving in Sydney in 1810. The deceased leaves a family of eight daughters and a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren, the majority of whom were present at the funeral. The cortege left Rock Farm at 3 o'clock, and proceeded to All Saints' Church of which Mrs. Green had been a member since its erection in 1850. After an impressive service had been held by the Rev. J.R. Bloomfield, the procession moved to All Saints' Cemetery, headed by the church choir. The coffin was covered with beautiful wreaths, and the bereaved family received many marks of sympathy from friends and neighbors who had known the deceased for a lengthy period. The burial service then took place, after which a funeral hymn was sung by the choristers. The number of friends who attended was very large, and including many leading residents of the district." 5
